Hiram Ulyssess Grant Research Paper
The first child of Jesse R.Grant and Hannah Simpson,Hiram Ulysses Grant was born on April 27,1822, in the family’s hometown of Ravenna,Ohio.His childhood was, he recalled, an "uneventful" one. He went to school, did chores, ice skated, fished, and rode horses, like other children on the American frontier. Grant's father, Jesse Root Grant, owned a tannery, but his son hated the horrible stench and the filth of the family business. From a very young age, Hiram showed an extraordinary talent for working with horses. His father allowed him to earn his keep by plowing, driving teams to haul wood, and performing other chores.
